Ooooh, shiny
Okay, I feel I must preface this with the caveat that this is not necessarily my style, but should you be looking for (or hoping for) a bit of super-shiny heart-themed bling for Valentine’s Day, this would certainly fit the bill:
Today only, get the “Always In My Heart” box from San Francisco Music Box for half price—$19.95. Order enough to total $65 or more and you can use coupon code FS1065 for free shipping and 10% off (expires January 31st, 2008). Just ordering that? Use coupon code CCFS8 for free shipping on any size order (expires March 31st, 2008).
So your Blu-Ray can get Lost
I don’t watch Lost, possibly because by the time I figured out that everyone thought it was amazing, I figured I was too far behind to catch up. Still, I keep vowing to rent or buy it, someday. You know, when I have time. Stop laughing.
Anyway, if you got yourself a shiny new Blu-Ray over the holidays and are feeling the Lost love, you should know that right now Amazon’s got the complete third season on Blu-Ray DVD for just $39.99. That’s apparently a steal.
(But what do I know? I’m just the person who’s barely switched off of The Learning Channel since the WGA strike.)
Book it, for less
Have a local Borders? Are you a member of their Borders Rewards club? If not, you should sign up—it’s easy, and it’s free, and it gets you neat little savings here and there, like the ability to use this 40% off one book coupon. (Applies to purchases over $20, some exclusions apply in the fine print, etc.) (But yay! Cheap books!)
Free PMS fuel
Not that you have PMS. Certainly not! But when other people have PMS, sometimes they require a snack that is both chocolatey and salty. And those people, they might want to try this new chocolate turtle Chex Mix for free. Perhaps you should sign up for some, just in case one of those folks drops by your house for a visit.
It’s like a Corvette, in a USB drive
Have my previous thumb drive deals not been enough for you? Are you looking for a more manly drive, one that can hold a super-sized amount of information?
Well of course you are. You big hunka-hunka data-burning love, you.
How about a SanDisk 4GB Titanium Cruzer for $29.03 shipped, big boy? That’s right. I thought you’d like that.
You look cooler already… as if that was even possible.
Little bargains are the next department over
I think I’ve mentioned this in passing before, but having just picked up some t-shirts for $2 apiece, I think it bears repeating: Don’t be afraid to walk into a different department at the store to find some deals. On What Not to Wear Stacy and Clinton are forever chiding grown women for shopping in Juniors—and well they should. If you’re an adult, please don’t dress like you’re fourteen, of course, but sometimes you can get tank tops (to wear under other things) or plain t-shirts (just check the length before you buy) for cheap in the Juniors department.
If you’re a larger woman, ditto for scooching over into Men’s. If you’re a very small woman, maybe you can even wear some stuff from Girls.
Again: This is not an invitation to dress inappropriately, just to think outside the box when it comes to a few basic items.
New markdowns at Lego (think Christmas!)
I know, I know; there is a certain part of the brain that starts to overheat, a little, at the mere idea of shopping for next Christmas in January. I understand. Still; the deals are hot when the deals are hot.
Alert and extremely pretty Want Not reader Beth pointed out that there’s a new crop of items in the Lego Outlet, including the Lego City Advent Calendar which is now down to just $6.98 (from $25). They do a new one of these every year, so this is the 2007 version, but the year isn’t on it anywhere, so feel free to stock up now for your Legomaniacs. Shipping is just $4.95 on orders up to $25, too.
I obviously can’t speak for you, but I may have vacuumed up a few little Lego dudes in my post-holiday cleaning frenzy. By accident. Mostly. So, um, this might be a good deal if you are atoning for something similar.
Brilliant or frightening?
Here’s one I discovered this morning that still has me scratching my head….
Did you know that Omaha Steaks has an Overstocks section? I mean, hey, on the one hand—cheaper steaks and stuff! Yay! (And, um “and stuff” apparently includes… cookie dough. Of course.) On the other hand—do I really want to be eating meat labeled as an overstock?
I’m not really sure. But I thought I’d share, because I’m helpful like that.
20% off at Ulta
Through Saturday, February 2nd, 2008 (ack, where did January go??), take 20% off your entire purchase at Ulta with coupon code 85525. Or you can use coupon code 85324 for $3.50 off $10+. Shipping is a flat $5.95, or free on orders of $50.
Ulta sells make-up and skin care products. If you favor any of the (expensive) items they carry, now would be a good time to replenish your supply. (Thanks for the heads up, Jamie!)
[Edited to add: Apparently some of the nicer brands are excluded from this promotion. Oops! Sorry for the confusion.]
And don’t forget pods are on sale
Whether you won a Senseo machine or bought yourself one on the shipping-only deal, be advised that right now Amazon is running a deal where you can take $10 off your purchase of 3 eligible Senseo products
Offer expires January 31st, 2008 (this Thursday), so get a move on if you want to become a pod person. (Dude, I have been waiting to use that line ever since I came across the Senseo deal….)
